review...
Performed as just four sessions - that may sound like they are
fragmented/shattered, blurred/dissolved, then reassembled - but basically all
I did was take the eleven sections that stood up as tracks (and did the usual
minor remixing and balancing of levels, plus a few cross-fades and splices,
reverb tails, dynamic effects, etc, etc.) and then shuffled them into the
best order. The resultant "sound pictures" range from the
nightmarish through to blissfully serene, from unmusical through to strangely
musical hybrids of folk (kind of) and industrial ooze, whatever it is - no
one's thought of a name for it yet! All the titles are culled from a Robert
Sheckley surreal sci-fi novel.
